Do you want to invest aggressively to build a large portfolio or do you want to invest conservatively to build up your nest egg without as much risk.

Not debt free but it would build a nest egg to start.Another strategy is find a super good deal.

I would like to purchase and sell 3 to 4 single-family homes to generate a decent nest egg to shift my ambitions towards the buy and hold approach of investing.

It would be nice to live mortgage free, but a nest egg would also be nice.Any advice would be welcome!

Buy, fix and flip a few $25k or so deals until each member has a documented track record and a nice nest egg to head off alone.A "pro" would be on board to help and the whole thing can be a thread here at B P.This can cure the dilemma of "I need experience to get hired but no one will hire me without experience"The group should be as local as possible with each member committed to show up at the property at least once and to be present at online meetings.Thoughts?

Reason I ask is I am currently dealing with some birds that think they can just make nests in every nook and cranny of my siding/roof.

We hope to accelerate our mortgage payments, pay off this house and build a nest egg over the next 10 years.

I would hope to have a nest egg buffer, since I'm starting from zero.

The good news is your realizing this now before the four years is here.So yes start saving for the difference and maybe values will go up and your have a 27,000 nest egg.

The promoter would be doing this as a "regulation D" security, which, with the proper paperwork, allows raising these kinds of ammounts.If $20K is 10% or less of your available nest egg, an investment like this might be something to consider.
